It's a **** shame the Bobby Petrino ship sailed cause I'll continue saying he would have been the ultimate fit down here.
Renegade coach with a brilliant offensive mind. You combine that with the skill position talent that South Florida churns out on a yearly basis and it would have been a recipe for sustained success.
Why is everyone obsessed with offensive minded guys? We have too much talent in sfla where John Doe can run an offense. We score 50 with coley, 50 with Shannon, 50 with golden. We need a defensive beast and an elite recruiter. Defense wins championship period in this game, the number one team in the country plays great physical defense.
With all due respect...you have peeps on this board acting like Butch Davis would be Jesus and is the second coming of Vince Lombardi. I'm at the point where I'm **** near convinced the majority of this board either is under the age of 25 or has amnesia.
Butch Davis was a poor gameday coach who epitomized conservatism. Furthermore it's also quite apparent to me that most on this board don't remember how loudly many fans were calling for Butch's head on several occasions as a result of his aforementioned deficiences.
For today's game....give me an offensive minded aggressive coach. That attitude tends to permeate down to the entire team and with a good DC we can remedy most of our problems.
